He stated:

“I have eight kids now. I feel blessed and happy, but the sadness comes from the fact that I haven’t gotten to spend the type of time I should have spent with them collectively. It does something to me sometimes. They’re amazing, brilliant people. I just wish I was there more. It touches me from all corners.”

For years, the singer’s love life has dominated headlines, often painting him as a serial womaniser.

However, 2Baba dismissed the label, insisting that the narrative does not reflect his true personality.

“The biggest misconception about me is that I’m a womaniser. I like women; I’m just straightforward. But I’m a lover boy. I love hard,” he said.
